My Mom just switched to a religious preaching channel as a joke and we're now having a collective aneurysm. "... and the reed bowed to him to return that very same greeting he gave it fortnights before." That's the only sentence I heard. WHAT?

I wouldn’t say that the last decade has made me more religious. But it did make say “Jesus Christ!“ a lot more.

Save the date 📆. On Oct 22/23, @nationalacademies.org will hold a stellar virtual workshop on brain/body interations (open to all). www.nationalacademies.org/en/our-work/...

If you missed it, here's the replay. We discussed "Why" (and why not) to draw attention to your science, "How" to promote it on social media, and "How" to connect with pros to help you (like your Uni comms office). Plus Q&A. Thank you for organizing @sfn.org! neuronline.sfn.org/professional...

UK theoretical neuroscience workshop - Dec 16 in London. I'll be speaking at this alongside a load of other cool people. Come along! (It's free.) 🤖🧠🧪 dpinotsis.wixsite.com/uk-theoretic...

Science is self correcting. Finally!

The people who are like "Yeah Dyson spheres arnt realistic at all but the swarms are totally real and only a decade away, we simply mine mercury..." they can't even watch an hour long video to see me call that out but they expect me to wait 4200 years while they realistically mine mercury. sure bud

📣 NEW: How can we validate claims about AI? Many AI companies often base their testing on specific tasks but overstate their overall capabilities. Our latest policy brief presents a three-step validation framework for separating legitimate from unsupported claims. hai.stanford.edu/policy/valid...

The world: 🔥🔥🔥 Scientists, in the background:

How much SciComm does it take to comm the con outta these cons?

How many science communicators does it take to reverse the effects of this horrendous level of brainless overconfidence? Someone just used the term "greenhouse bees" in my vicinity. What did he mean by it? I don't freaking know.

Them: Are you a competitive- Me: Yes. Them: ... Me: In what? Them: ... nevermind.

All these videos of roboticists kicking and shoving their robots to show off their robust control … Not cool dudes, way too violent!

My classes have started and I'm stuck here, unable to attend my graduate program. Why? Because the world is on fire, literally and figuratively!

When did every scientist become obsessed with birds?

I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

Brilliant! youtube.com/shorts/aCG-f...

Who decided "self" was a good convention? I forgave you on the double-underscores for __init__, but "self" is just too much, my guy.

Having AI crammed down our throats is bullshit, but machine learning has some real uses in science. This awesome page shows experimental cyclone track forecasts from Google DeepMind and Google Research's AI weather models, along with forecasts from ECMWF. 😍 deepmind.google.com/science/weat...

Lab’s latest is out in Imaging Neuroscience, led by Kirsten Peterson: “Regularized partial correlation provides reliable functional connectivity estimates while correcting for widespread confounding”, where we demonstrate a major improvement to standard fMRI functional connectivity (correlation) 1/n

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

I wish this was a joke. I’d be super excited about massive scale egocentric data collection … if it weren’t Meta doing it.

Pretty sure golf and baseball have killed more birds than wind turbines. And I say that with respect to baseball players because their speed is god-like and I've seen only one bird-related accident from them. *Doesn't comment on golf.*

I give this AI generated image I found on LinkedIn a 3 out of 10 because at least the brain is facing the right way

Self-awareness is a good thing, actually.

Gotta love how a "society" or a renowned institute has to "debate" a good decision. You seriously have to "debate" a decision that the majority of the world's population agree with? A decision that benefits global conditions? Please debate you credibility first.

Hey, my new book is out now!! It's a funny, heartwarming story with lots of cool science about animals and the history of life on Earth. Get it now for your favorite smart kid: 👉GreatBigUniverse.net
